Many first met Brother David Steindl-Rast through a viral video called Nature. Beauty. Gratitude, where Louie Schwartzberg's footage of time-lapse flowers in bloom is narrated by Brother David's moving words asking us to simply be ... grateful. Since 1953, Brother David has been a monk of Mount Saviour Benedictine monastery in New York, dividing his time between hermitic contemplation, writing and lecturing. He's the cofounder of http://gratefulness.org/, supporting ANG*L (A Network for Grateful Living).
